    Liza Minnelli wants to be buried in a designer outfit

    The 79-year-old star wore a sequinned number designed by Halton during her landmark concert special 'Liza with a Z' in 1972 and revealed that all these years later, she still wears clothes from the luxury fashion house and refuses to be cremated when she passes because she wouldn't want to "ruin" such an outfit


    She told Vulture as part of their 'Legends of Broadway' issue: "We were hiding from the censors how sexy that red sequined dress was gonna be. How far could we go? How short could we get it? I saw sponsors and network people all clutching their chests, but nobody died. Halston was such a genius - decades later, I still wear his clothes all the time. I want to be buried in Halston, but no cremation, baby - why ruin an exquisite outfit?"

    Liza - who is the daughter of late Hollywood legend Judy Garland and her second husband Vincente Minnellii - was given her big break when she has cast in the film adaptation of Kander and Ebb musical 'Cabaret' and recalled how their influence played a huge part in her being able to "carve [her] own path" away from the 'Wizard of Oz' star.

    She said: "You can't speak about my past without celebrating John Kander and Fred Ebb. They understood that I was desperately trying to carve my own lane. It gave me an opportunity for people to know me outside of my parents and outside of Sally Bowles. I didn't have hit records, but 'Liza With a Z' gave me the equivalent of multiple hits.

    "And I've always said [choreographer] Bob Fosse knew everything about me and used every single part of my body, including my scoliosis. Everybody wanted to know: Did we or didn't we? I'll just keep you guessing.
